Think Safety
All thermal systems pose inherent hazards if applied incorrectly. Improper application and failure to adhere to recognized national, state and local electrical codes as well as agency standards can result in injury to personnel or damage to plant and process. Users are responsible for determining controller or sensor-to-application compatibility. Care should always be exercised in controller or sensor selection, installation and use. Responsibility for sensor and controller installation and wiring lie with the customer. Each sensor, power and temperature controller is packaged with its own user manual. Be sure to review and understand the manual, which will help maximize safety, thermal system performance, efficiency and product life. All Watlow temperature and power controllers and sensors should be installed by qualified personnel who are knowledgeable about the thermal systems characteristics and in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any applicable state or local codes.

Sensor Safety
If a sensor is used in a medical application, with life or death consequences, careful attention must be paid to its fit for the application with appropriate redundancies and/or alarms built into the product. If the sensor is used in an industrial environment where hazards exist, protection methods (isolating sensors and wiring from explosive or flammable substances) should be considered to prevent failures or short circuits from becoming dangerous to personnel and property. It is good engineering practice to always consider the consequences of a catastrophic failure and the affect it would have on personnel and property. Please institute the appropriate safeguards to limit any danger.

Controller Safety
The following recommendations apply to all Watlow temperature and power controllers as well as control panels: Carefully read, understand and follow the instructions contained in the user manual Always disconnect electrical power prior to installing, servicing or replacing temperature or power controllers All temperature and power controllers should be used with approved conductors of the correct wire gauge Do not use solid state power controllers in safety limit controller circuits. Solid state components tend to fail in a closed circuit mode and will not cut off power

Safety limit control should be provided by an isolated, redundant sensor and agency-approved controller of the appropriate type, design and installation Electrical enclosures and/or control panels housing temperature and power controllers should match the applications environment and be able to withstand worst-case failures especially in hazardous locations Do not apply temperature or power controllers where ambient conditions exceed specified operating environments and/or exceed power draw permitted by the device or applicable rating curve Pay special attention to wiring practices. Power, sensor and communications wiring should be handled appropriately to avoid inductive and capacitive coupling. These conditions can create errant and/or erratic operation and pose a safety hazard. Use noise suppression devices where appropriate. Make ground connections for any device only to the appropriate electrical ground for that device (chassis, safety or computer ground)

Think Safety
Designing Safe Thermal Systems
Most heated thermal systems include: A heat source, either fuel fired or electrical resistance A temperature controller A temperature sensor The sensor produces a signal value based on the temperature to which it is exposed. The temperature controller interprets the signal into a value that is either above, below or at a then predetermined set point. The controller will then create an output signal to command a device to turn the heat source on or off. As with any heated thermal system, failure in the sensor, temperature controller or heat-source controlling device could create an over- or under-temperature condition. These conditions can ruin product in process or pose a danger to personnel and property. Limit controllers are used to prevent injury and property loss that could occur if a process variables value were to cross outside the safe operating range for the system. In systems where temperature is controlled, a limit controller should be used to respond to an over- or under-temperature condition before it becomes a hazard. A properly applied limit controller senses when the temperature or other process variable is outside the limit and shuts the system down. The limit controller must be independent of the primary control system and able to interrupt the flow of energy that could cause a hazard. For example, in a system where temperature is controlled with an electric heater, the limit controller must be able to disconnect the heater from the power source when the temperature exceeds the limit. A proper design requires user intervention to correct the cause of the failure before the system is restored to normal operation. Usually, the sensor used in a limit control system does not need to be as accurate as the primary sensor. Its only function is to create a temperature signal that allows a controller to determine if a preprogrammed over- or under-temperature condition exists. Sensor longevity and aging must be considered if the sensor will have an unacceptable impact on the limit control systems ability to accurately determine an over- or under-temperature condition. As with enclosures, there are agency standards for the design and construction of limit control systems, and their suitability for use exist.

Designing Intrinsically Safe Circuits


When installing temperature sensors in hazardous areas, circuits should be made intrinsically safe with barriers to prevent sparks and excessive heat on the safe side from reaching the hazardous area and causing sparks. All barrier device parameters affect sensor performance and the sensor circuit. Parameters include: Polarity rated for AC or DC signals Rated voltage or working voltage of the signal the device is designed to carry before it senses a fault Internal resistance, as the amount of resistance inherent to the barrier device, affects the strength of the current signal it is allowing to pass

Where tolerances are given in percent, the percentage applies to the temperature measurement in degrees Celsius. For example, the standard tolerance of Type J is 0.75 percent. If the temperature being measured is 538C, the tolerance is 0.75 percent of 538C, or 4.0C. To determine tolerance in degrees Fahrenheit, multiply the tolerance in degrees Celsius times 1.8. Thermocouples and thermocouple material are normally supplied to meet tolerances specified in the table for the normal specified range. The same materials, however, may not fall within the cryogenic tolerances in the second section of the table. Tolerances shown in this table do not necessarily indicate accuracy of temperature measurements used following initial heating of the materials.

Little information is available to justify establishing special tolerances for cryogenic temperatures. Limited experience suggests the following tolerances for Types E and T thermocouples: Type E -200 to 0 C 1.0 C or 0.5% (whichever is greater) Type T -200 to 0 C 0.5 C or 0.8% (whichever is greater) Due to characteristics of the materials, cryogenic tolerances for Type J thermocouples and special cryogenic tolerances for Type K thermocouples are not listed.

Quality Certification Lab
Watlow certification verifies that the finished sensor complies with initial calibration tolerances as established by ASTM Standard E 230. This standard is based on the thermodynamic temperature scale of TIS 90, succeeding IPTS 68. Initial sensor tolerances are susceptible to change during use due to environmental factors, including contamination, temperature, furnace gradient and physical abuse. Watlows advanced capabilities enable sensor calibration across a broad range of temperatures, from cryogenic -320 to 3090F (-195 to 1700C). ISO 10012 is the standard for all sensor and instrument calibration and results are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Calibration and Certification
SERV-RITE thermocouple wire and elements can be factory calibrated and certified at an extra charge. Each thermocouple, coil, reel or spool of wire is tagged to show the individual departure from curve. Once calibrated, exact departure from the standard curve at any specified temperature is known and considered. Thermocouples and wire samples sent to the factory for calibrating must be at least 36 inches in length. Standard calibrating temperature points range from 32 to 2300F (0 to 1260C), depending on calibration, gauge size and insulation. Sub-zero and cryogenic calibration is available at fixed points, such as boiling helium, nitrogen and sublimated carbon dioxide, including temperatures down to -110F (-80C). A certificate of calibration and a calibration results tag are furnished for all items calibrated.

a Tolerances in this table apply to new, essentially homogeneous thermocouple wire, normally in the size range 0.25 to 3 mm in diameter (No. 30 to No. 8 AWG) and used at temperatures not to exceed the recommended limits shown above. If used at higher temperatures, these tolerances may not apply. b At a given temperature that is expressed in C, the tolerance expressed in F is 1.8 times larger than the tolerance expressed in C. Note: Wherever applicable, percentage-based tolerances must be computed from temperatures that are expressed in C. c Caution: Users should be aware that certain characteristics of thermocouple materials, including the EMF vs. temperature relationship, may change with time in use. Consequently, test results and performance obtained at the time of manufacture may not necessarily apply throughout an extended period of use. Tolerances provided above apply only to new wire as delivered to the user and do not allow for changes in characteristics with use. The magnitude of changes will depend on factors such as wire size, temperature, time of exposure and environment. Further noted that due to possible changes in homogeneity, attempting to recalibrate used thermocouples is likely to yield irrelevant results and is not recommended. However, it may be appropriate to compare used thermocouples in-situ with new or known good thermocouples to ascertain their suitability for further service under conditions of comparison. d Thermocouples and thermocouple materials are normally supplied to meet tolerances specified in the table for temperatures above 0C. The same materials, however, may not fall within the tolerances given for temperatures below C in the second section of the table. Materials required to meet tolerances stated for temperatures below 0C must be stated in the purchase order. Selection of materials will usually be required.

e Special tolerances for temperatures below 0C are difficult to justify due to limited available information. However, the following values for Types E and T thermocouples are suggested as a guide for discussion between purchaser and supplier: Type E: -200 to 0C 1.0C or 0.5 percent (whichever is greater); Type T: -200 to 0C 0.5 or0.8 percent (whichever is greater). Initial values of tolerance for Type J thermocouples at temperatures below 0C, and special tolerances for Type K thermocouples below 0C, are not given due to characteristics of the materials. f Tolerances shown in the table represent the maximum error contribution allowable from new and essentially homogeneous thermocouple extension wire when exposed to the full temperature range shown above. Extension grade materials are not intended for use outside of the temperature range shown. g Thermocouple extension wire contributes to the total thermoelectric signal that depends on the temperature difference between the extreme ends of the extension wire length. The actual magnitude of any error introduced into a measuring circuit by homogeneous and correctly connected extension wires is equal to the algebraic difference of the deviations at its two end temperatures, as determined for that extension wire pair. h Tolerances in the table apply to new and essentially homogeneous thermocouple compensating extension wire when used at temperatures within the range shown above. i Thermocouple compensating extension wire contributes to the total thermoelectric signal that depends on the temperature difference between the extreme ends of the compensating extension wire length. ** Special tolerance grade compensating extension wires are not available.

Thermocouples
General Information
Calibration Types
Thermocouples are classified by calibration type because they have varying electromotive force (EMF) versus temperature curves. Some generate considerably more voltage at lower temperatures, while others do not begin to develop a significant voltage until subjected to high temperatures. Also, calibration types are designed to deliver as close to a straight line voltage curve inside their temperature application range as possible. This makes it easier for an instrument or temperature controller to correctly correlate the received voltage to a particular temperature. Additionally, thermocouple calibration types have different levels of compatibility with different atmospheres. Chemical reaction between certain thermocouple alloys and the application atmosphere could cause metallurgy degradation, making another calibration type more suitable for sensor life and accuracy requirements.

Thermocouple Types
Calibration types have been established by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) according to their temperature versus EMF characteristics in accordance with ITS-90, in standard or special tolerances. Additionally, there are non-ASTM calibration types. These thermocouples are made from tungsten and tungsten-rhenium alloys. Generally used for measuring higher temperatures, they are a more economical alternative to the platinum and platinum alloy based noble metal thermocouples, but limited to use in inert and non-oxidizing atmospheres.
Thermocouple Type E* J K* N R S T* Useful/General Application Range 200-1650F (95-900C) 200-1400F (95-760C) 200-2300F (95-1260C) 200-2300F (95-1260C) 1600-2640F (870-1450C) 1800-2640F (980-1450C) 32-660F (0-350C)

*Also suitable for cryogenic applications from -328 to 32F (-200 to 0C)

**Millivolt values shown for R and S calibrations pertain to thermocouple calibrations only. RX and SX constructions described in this catalog section are intended for use as extension wire only and will not exhibit the millivolt outputs shown.

Thermocouples
General Information
Calibration Types Type E
The Type E thermocouple is suitable for use at temperatures up to 1650F (900C) in a vacuum, inert, mildly oxidizing or reducing atmosphere. At cryogenic temperatures, the thermocouple is not subject to corrosion. This thermocouple has the highest EMF output per degree of all the commonly used thermocouples.

Type T
This thermocouple can be used in either oxidizing or reducing atmospheres, though for longer life, a protecting tube is recommended. Because of its stability at lower temperatures, this is a superior thermocouple for a wide variety of applications in low and cryogenic temperatures. Its recommended operating range is -330 to 660F (-200 to 350C), but it can be used up to -452F (-269C) (boiling helium).

Type J
Type J is the second most common calibration type and is a good choice for general purpose applications where moisture is not present. The Type J thermocouple may be used, exposed or unexposed, where there is a deficiency of free oxygen. For cleanliness and longer life, a protection tube is recommended. Since iron (JP) wire will oxidize rapidly at temperatures over 1000F (540C), it is recommended that larger gauge wires be used to compensate. Maximum recommended operating temperature is 1400F (760C).

Types S and R
Maximum recommended operating temperature for Type S or R is 2640F (1450C). These thermocouples are easily contaminated. Reducing atmospheres are particularly damaging to the calibration. Noble metal thermocouples should always be protected with a gas-tight ceramic tube, a secondary tube of porcelain, and a silicon carbide or metal outer tube as conditions require.

Type K
Type K thermocouples usually work in most applications as they are nickel based and exhibit good corrosion resistance. It is the most common sensor calibration type providing the widest operating temperature range. Due to its reliability and accuracy the Type K thermocouple is used extensively at temperatures up to 2300F (1260C). This type of thermocouple should be protected with a suitable metal or ceramic protection tube, especially in reducing atmospheres. In oxidizing atmospheres, such as electric furnaces, tube protection is not always necessary when other conditions are suitable; however, it is recommended for cleanliness and general mechanical protection. Type K will generally outlast Type J because the JP wire rapidly oxidizes, especially at higher temperatures.

Type N
This nickel-based thermocouple alloy is used primarily at high temperatures up to 2300F (1260C). While not a direct replacement for Type K, Type N provides better resistance to oxidation at high temperatures and longer life in applications where sulfur is present. It also outperforms Type K in Ks aging range.

General Information
Maximum Temperatures
The diameter of the sensor wires determines the upper most operating temperature. The larger the diameter, the higher the temperature rating. Choose alloy 600 over 304 stainless steel (SS) or 316 SS when higher temperatures are expected. The environment is also a critical factor when determining the best material to use. Consult the manual on The Use of Thermocouples in Temperature Measurement, published by ASTM for further details.

This table gives the recommended upper temperature limits for the various thermocouples and wire sizes. These limits apply to protected thermocouples in a conventional closed-end protecting tubes. They do not apply to sheathed thermocouples with compacted mineral oxide insulation. The temperature limits shown here are intended only as a guide and should not be taken as absolute values nor as guarantees of satisfactory life or performance. These types and sizes are sometimes used at temperatures above the given limits, but usually at the expense of stability, life or both. In other instances, it may be necessary to reduce the above limits to achieve adequate service.

Thermocouples
General Information
Junction Types
Generally, the grounded junction offers the best compromise between performance and reliability. It is the best choice for general purpose measurements. Select an ungrounded junction if the lead wire will be shielded and attached to the sheath. Also, select the ungrounded junction to avoid ground loops between instruments, power supplies and the sensor. Listed below are junction styles offered by Watlow.

Ungrounded Junction

The thermocouple junction is fully insulated from the welded sheath end. The ungrounded junction is excellent for applications where stray EMFs would affect the reading and for frequent or rapid temperature cycling. Response time is longer than with the grounded junction.

Exposed Junction Ungrounded Dual Isolated Junction

Thermocouple wires are butt welded, insulated and sealed against liquid or gas penetration. This junction style provides the fastest possible response time but leaves the thermocouple wires unprotected against corrosive or mechanical damage.

Two separate thermocouples are encased in a single sheath. The isolation prevents ground loop errors if wired to separate instruments. Only available as ungrounded junctions.

Grounded Junction

The sheath and conductors are welded together, forming a completely sealed, integral junction. The grounded junction is recommended in the presence of liquids, moisture, gas or high pressure. The wire is protected from corrosive or erosive conditions. Response time with this style approaches that of the exposed junction.

Thermocouples
General Information
Response Time
The smaller the diameter, the faster the thermocouple responds. Grounding the junction also improves response time by approximately 50 percent based on the sensor achieving 63.2 percent of the final reading or to the first time constant. It takes approximately five time constants to obtain steady state readings. Temperature accuracy of the surrounding medium depends on the capability of the sensor to conduct heat from its outer sheath to the element wire. Several factors come into play. Most commonly noted is time constant (thermal response time). Time constant, or thermal response time, is an expression of how quickly a sensor responds to temperature changes. As expressed here, time response is defined as the length of time it takes a sensor to reach 63.2 percent of a step temperature change (see graph to the right). Response is a function of the mass of the sensor and its efficiency in transferring heat from its outer surfaces to the wire sensing element. A rapid time response is essential for accuracy in a system with sharp temperature changes. Time response varies with the probes physical size and design. Response times indicated represent standard industrial probes.

General Information
Thermocouple Resistance
Although resistance cannot confirm that the alloy meets the correct thermoelectric specifications, it checks for other undesirable characteristics such as opens, poor welds or wire corrosion. Always measure thermocouple resistance outside of the application to ensure that EMF output does not conflict with the resistance meter. Ohms per Double Feet Long lead wire runs or use of analog-based instrumentation make conductor resistance an important factor when selecting the wire gauge best suited for an application. The table below lists nominal ohms per double feet for thermocouple and thermocouple extension wire. Ohms per double feet are the total resistance, in ohms, for both conductors, per foot.

WATLOW

Thermocouples
Mineral Insulated (MI)
Watlows mineral insulated (MI) thermocouples are fast-responding, durable, and capable of handling high temperatures. Manufactured with best-in-class XACTPAK, Watlows trademark for metal sheathed, mineral insulated (MI) thermocouple material, XACTPAK responds fast because the protective metal outer sheath allows use of smaller diameter thermocouple conductors. The rock hard compacted MgO insulation further enhances the sensors ability to read temperature by transferring heat quickly to the measuring junction. The XACTPAK protecting sheath and compacted insulation outperform bare wire thermocouples in most applications.

Performance Capabilities
Easily handles temperatures up to 2200F (1200C) Meets or exceeds initial calibration tolerances per ASTM E 230

Features and Benefits


Special mineral insulation Protects thermocouple from moisture and thermal shock Permits operation in high temperature, high pressure environments Diameters as small as 0.020 in. (0.50 mm) Ideal when physical space or extremely fast response are critical Flexibility of the XACTPAK material Allows forming and bending of the thermocouple, without risk of cracking, to meet design requirements Outer sheath Protects wires from oxidation and hostile environments Wide range of sheath materials, diameters, and calibrations Meet specific requirements In-house manufacturing of XACTPAK material Rigid quality control procedures Ensures high standards are met Single source reliability Custom capabilities Include options such as special lead lengths, lead wires and terminations

Typical Applications
Heat treating Furnaces/kilns Turbines Bearing temperature Power stations Steam generators Diesel engines Nuclear reactors Atomic research Jet engines and test cells Rocket engines Semiconductor manufacturing Refineries/oil processing Catalytic reformers Food processing

EXACTSENSE
The EXACTSENSE thermocouple from Watlow provides the accuracy, time response and durability required to help manufacturers improve the control of their diesel engine after-treatment systems. The resulting benefits include more efficient regeneration, better fuel economy and improved emissions to meet the more stringent global requirements. The EXACTSENSE thermocouple features integrated electronics within a molded connector housing. The electronics convert the thermocouple signal into either an analog or digital output signal that is compatible with the engine control module (ECM). Having a sensor with integrated electronics helps improve overall system accuracy and enables the use of information about the sensor such as part number, serial number, date of manufacture, time response, calibration, drift and more to enhance system performance or improve diagnostic capabilities. The EXACTSENSE thermocouple includes WATCOUPLE sensing technology. This technology uses materials selected for their stability and longevity at high temperatures; making this thermocouple an ideal choice for burner, flame and turbo applications. The durable mineral insulated thermocouple construction is also superior for applications requiring long immersion depths up to 7.9 in. (200 mm). The EXACTSENSE is point sensitive unlike RTDs which average the temperature over the length of the element. These EXACTSENSE features provide the ability to accurately measure the temperature near the center of larger pipes without complex algorithms. The mineral insulated construction also enables the tip to be tapered. This durable closed tip construction results in faster response times than competing sensor technologies can achieve with their less durable open tip constructions. EXACTSENSE tapered construction results in improved control and increased sensor life. The EXACTSENSE thermocouple meets the demanding requirements for over-the-road medium and heavy-duty vehicles as well as on off-road equipment including construction, mining, agriculture, marine and locomotive. The EXACTSENSE thermocouple is available with a variety of standard options to meet specific manufacturer requirements.

MICROCOIL
Accurate, Repeatable, Fast Response in Perpendicular Surface Measurement Watlows MICROCOIL miniature thermocouple provides surface temperature measurements that deliver an unparalleled degree of accuracy. This patented technology achieves critical isothermal surface temperature measurement and offers superior design flexibility. Typical sensor-to-sensor repeatability of one to two percent (DT) can be achieved with the MICROCOIL because sensor areas that are vulnerable to normal production variances are not inside of the thermal gradient. Weld location, insulation thickness and welded tip thickness no longer impact measurement in an isothermal environment. Therefore, the inherent challenges of measuring surface temperatures no longer exist. The MICROCOIL thermocouple utilizes Watlows XACTPAK mineral insulated thermocouple cable. When used with an ungrounded junction, the sensor is electrically isolated from the surface being measured. For higher voltage applications, the aluminum nitride sensor disc option can be used for additional protection. The helix design of the MICROCOIL thermocouple elicits a faster response time because the surface temperature conducts only through the diameter of the cable and the width of the sensor disk. Thermal analysis demonstrates the superior performance of the MICROCOIL technology. This patented process achieves critical isothermal area for a long length of a very small cable, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurement. Standard straight sensors experience poor accuracy of response time, non-repeatable results as well as errors ranging from 20 to 30 percent and higher.

Features and Benefits


Miniature size Allows for precision measurement in tight spaces XACTPAK mineral insulated thermocouple cable Electronically isolated and shielded 1292F (700C) maximum continuous temperature Offers exact measurement for demanding applications Self leveling and loading Provides superior repeatability of measurement for a wide variety of surfaces

Radio Frequency
Watlows TR thermocouple probe is designed for use in plasma generation applications to ensure accurate temperature readings through radio or conduction environments where traditional sensors are ineffective. Radio frequency energy can cause serious temperature measurement errors when exposed to these types of environments. The TR probe is constructed using a unique combination of high performance materials. The sensor tip is made from high thermal conductivity materials to provide a quick response time. High dielectric insulation electrically insulates the sensor from capacitive coupling. Lead wires are twisted to improve common mode rejection and reduce induced EMI (electromagnetic interference).

(6.10 mm) high) Molded insulator is removable for applications where an even smaller package is needed Temperature rating of 400F (200C) Offers superior application flexibility for a wide variety of surfaces

Steady State Temperature Measurement Test


Purpose: To determine and compare the steady state error of the Watlow TST and a common washerstyle thermocouple at several temperature settings with and without ambient airflow. Test Description: Each sensor was attached to a brass hot plate and allowed to reach equilibrium before temperature readings were taken. Room temperature air was then blown onto the hot plate and the sensors. Temperature readings were taken after the system reached the new equilibrium point. The test was performed with a 20, 40, 60 and 80C differential between the hot plate temperature and ambient. Results: Ambient temperature = 25C.

Thermocouples
Multipoints
Temperature variances exist in all systems, regardless of materials, working fluid or system design. There is not a process that involves heating a particular medium where temperature of that medium is consistent throughout temperature gradients always exist. Sensing temperature at a single location during a process is acceptable for many applications because temperature gradients are often insignificant. However, there is a need for many applications to monitor temperature in multiple locations to ensure a safe, accurate and cost efficient process. Installing multiple, independent temperature sensors may be impractical due to cost or space limitations. Multipoint temperature sensors accurately measure temperatures at various locations along the sensors length. They are used across a broad range of processes and installationspredominately in applications involving a large or complex process where close temperature control is necessary. Multipoint temperature sensors are designed to meet requirements of specific applications that include temperature, pressure, chemical environments, time response and number of points required. Sensors are constructed from a variety of protecting tube materials that use XACTPAK mineral insulated, metal-sheathed cable. Multipoint temperature sensors are available in standard or special ASTM thermocouple calibration tolerances. For applications requiring extreme accuracy, special constructions can be made with platinum resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).

Typical Applications
Chemical processing Petroleum distillation towers Semiconductor manufacturing Profiles of furnaces and kilns Combustion research Storage tanks Air flow ducts

Page Product Fittings Thermowells Description A variety of sensor mounting fittings are available such as fixed, adjustable, non-adjustable, compression and bayonet style. Thermowells are manufactured from drilled bar stock and provide a pressure-tight connection at the point of installation. These thick-wall thermowells are sturdy enough to handle high pressure, high velocity and corrosive environments. Suited for applications where the sensors are not compatible with the environment. Constructed of ceramic or metal. The metal protection tubes are suited for high thermal conductivity for fast, precise readings. The ceramic tubes resist deformation, corrosion, abrasion and oxidation. Many varieties of connectors are available such as standard, quick-attach, high-temperature, three-pole and miniature connectors. All Watlow connectors meet the ASTM E1129 requirement and are color coded. Watlow offers standard cast iron or aluminum, explosion proof, and polypropylene heads. Terminal blocks are available to complement the connection heads. Watlows temperature transmitters offer accurate measurement and improved reliability which reduces downtime and costs. The two-wire signal conditioner is constructed using surface mount and digital technology. 121 125

Sensor Mounting Fittings - Non-Adjustable Non-Adjustable Compression Type
Non-adjustable compression type fittings allow the exact immersion length to be set in the field during sensor installation. Since the compression sleeve and sheath are deformed in application, the fitting cannot be relocated along the sheath after tightening. When ordered as a part of a sensor for mounting the thermocouple, all compression type fittings are shipped finger-tight on the sheath.

Sensor Mounting Fittings - Adjustable Adjustable Compression Type
Adjustable compression type fittings can be relocated at different positions along the sheath whenever changes in the immersion length are necessary. To relocate an adjustable compression fitting, simply loosen the cap, slide the fitting to the new location and retighten the cap. It is recommended that lava sealant glands be replaced after each tightening. Tetrafluorethylene (TFE) sealant glands should withstand several relocations before replacement is necessary.

Stainless Steel Adjustable Compression Fitting


Except for their sealant glands, these fittings are made entirely of 303 stainless steel. Sealant glands are available in lava, -300 to 1000F (-184 to 540C) and TFE, -300 to 500F (-184 to 260C). Unless otherwise specified,* TFE sealant glands are provided. Fittings are pressure rated up to 3,000psi depending on temperature and sheath diameter.

Connectors
Many varieties of thermocouple connectors are available from Watlow. Watlows broad offering includes benefits such as high impact strength, fast installation and high temperature capabilities. Listed below are the various connectors and systems from which to choose: Standard thermocouple connectors Quick-attach thermocouple connectors High temperature connectors Three-pole connectors for RTD applications Miniature thermocouple connectors Watlow's standard line of connectors are lightweight, rugged and accurate and feature a clamping mechanism that is unique in the industry. This easy-to-use clamping connection will replace traditional screw and wire wrap. This device allows a straight-in application, which squeezes the wire and forms a tight connection assuring a clean, strong signal.

Applications and Technical Data


To eliminate measuring errors, all Watlow connectors are made exclusively of matching metal alloys. If the connector material has different thermal electromagnetic field (EMF) characteristics from the thermocouple or lead wire, a uniform temperature must be maintained across the connector, which is not always easily achievable or practical. If a temperature gradient exists across the connector made with a third metal, unwanted EMFs generate between the thermoelectric materials and the connector extremities causing an error to occur at the thermocouple output. The larger the gradient, the larger the error. In some instances, depending on the calibration, net errors may occur that are even larger than the gradient.

Features and Benefits


ASTM color coded Ensures easy identification Compensated alloys Provides accuracy in readings Glass-filled thermoplastic Provides high impact strength Captive cap screws Ensures a secure connection Connection hardware Eliminates several components Meets requirements for ASTM E1129 Ensures adequate pin spacing, dimensions and contact resistance Rated to 425F (215C) Fits high-temperature applications

General Information
Thermocouple and Extension Wire Color Codes
United States and International Color Coding Standard ASTM E 230 color coding (United States) is used on all insulated thermocouple wire and extension wire when insulation type permits. In color coding, the right is reserved to include a tracer to identify the ASTM E 230 type. Thermocouple grade wire normally has a brown overall jacket. For Types R and S, the color codes correlate to the compensating cable normally used. Thermocouple and Extension Wire Color Codes

SERV-RITE Wire
Thermocouple Wire
Technical Data How to Select Wire to Meet Requirements
The following information will explain some of the nomenclature associated with thermocouple wire and thermocouple extension wire. By reading this information, orders can be placed quickly and accurately. Thermocouple Wire or Thermocouple Extension Wire There are some significant differences between wire used to actually measure temperature and wire used to carry a millivoltage signal to an instrument. The most obvious difference is the color-code used to identify the wire itself. In most instances, thermocouple grade wire is identified by its overall brown color. Exceptions in the SERV-RITE wire product line are the very high temperature yarns such as those used in the SERIES 301 and 350. Of course, the overall color code is not used if there is no overall covering, as in SERV-RITE wire SERIES 505, 511 and 314. The functional differences between the two wires are that thermocouple extension wire is not calibrated above 400F (204C). The temperature rating of the insulations used on some extension grade wire exceeds 400F (204C) temperature to allow the wire to survive occasional contact with hot parts or furnace walls. Terms used in the tables of this section: Single Conductor Insulation Identifies insulation type used on individual thermoelements. Certain part numbers use a combination of insulations. When there is a combination, insulations are listed in order of application. Duplex Conductor Insulation Lists the overall insulation when one is used. Constructions which have no overall insulation use this area to describe the duplexing methodi.e. twisting, ripcord, etc. Temperature Rating Most constructions are rated for both continuous use and for single reading applications. Continuous use temperature is considered to be the highest temperature a particular construction will survive indefinitely. The single reading temperature is the highest temperature at which the construction will perform and continue to produce an accurate reading. However, after exposure to the single reading temperature, the wire will exhibit less flexibility and/or abrasion resistance. Therefore, it is not likely that the wire could be removed from the application and then reused. ASTM E 230 Color Code Generally, SERV-RITE wire has color codes wherever possible. Exceptions are high temperature yarn constructions such as the SERIES 301 and 350. Color coding of the SERIES 511 and 512 is accomplished by including a colored thread or tracer under the tape. Physical Properties Abrasion Resistance is rated fair, good, or excellent and is based on the wall thickness of the construction and how well it survives with other insulations of similar thicknesses. The 511 SERIES receives an excellent rating because the thin wall of polyimide tape will survive better than almost any other insulation applied in the same wall thickness. The absolute abrasion resistance of a construction will depend not only on the type of insulation, but on thickness at which it is applied. Moisture Resistance ratings are given for wire in the as received condition. In the case of fiberglass insulated wire, moisture resistance is achieved by using impregnations or spirally applied tapes called moisture barriers. The impregnations and/or tapes will burn off at temperatures below the upper useful operating temperatures of the fiberglass. The thermoplastic insulations (PVC and fluoroplastics) and polyimide insulated constructions will maintain their moisture resistance up to their continuous temperature rating. Chemical Resistance ratings are applied as they relate to most common chemicals. These ratings apply to insulation types and not necessarily to the type of impregnation used. Contact the factory for specific applications.

Technical Data (Continued)
Metallic Overbraids and Wraps Although standard SERV-RITE wire products are designed to yield a high degree of abrasion resistance, it is sometimes necessary to add an additional metallic covering to further enhance this property. Following are available overbraids and wraps. Stainless Steel Wire Braid (S) This most popular over-braid uses 300 series stainless steel and is available on virtually all standard SERV-RITE wire offerings. It is an economical method to extend the life of thermocouple and extension wire. Several of Watlows standard wire items are available from stock with a stainless overbraid. Non-stock items are available as a special order. Alloy 600 Wire Braid (N) Most commonly specified on high temperature SERV-RITE wire yarn insulations, the Inconel braid offers a higher operating temperature than the series 300 stainless steel overbraid. When this braid is specified on SERV-RITE SERIES 350, the performance of the material is only surpassed by metal-sheathed cables. Consult the factory for availability on specific wire items. Tinned Copper Wire Overbraid (C) When there is a possibility of electrical interference in the area of the thermocouple installation, it may be necessary to shield the wire from electrical noise. Several Watlow standard products use aluminized tapes as an intrinsic shield. If shielding is needed on other constructions, a tinned copper shield can be specified as a special order.

Thermocouple Wire
High-Temperature Vitreous Silica Braided Thermocouple Wire SERIES 301 and 365
Both the SERIES 301 and 365 use vitreous silica yarn as the insulation on both the conductors and duplex. This yarn retains its flexibility after exposure to high temperatures. Because this insulation has no binders or impregnations, it may flower when stripped. The vitreous silica yarns greater purity performs better at high temperatures than other fibrous glass products. Testing indicates that contamination will compromise this materials upper use temperature. For this reason, our standard offering is supplied without color coding or impregnations. The SERIES 365 construction is a cost-effective, medium insulation build of the popular heavy duty SERIES 301 construction. For higher temperatures consider SERIES 350.

High-Temperature Ceramic Fiber Thermocouple Wire SERIES 350 and 355
The SERIES 350 uses the ultimate high-temperature flexible insulating system. The ceramic fiber yarns upper temperature limit often exceeds the melting point of the material it insulates. Because this insulation has no binders or impregnations, it may flower when stripped. When an application requires flexible insulation, while pushing Type K or Type N to extreme limits, ceramic fiber insulation is the only choice. Watlow supplies standard SERIES 350 without color coding or impregnations to minimize contaminating the pure ceramic fiber yarn. Because this insulation has no binders or impregnations, it may flower when stripped. Laboratory testing indicates impregnation can decrease the upper use temperature by as much as 1000F (540C). The SERIES 355 construction is a cost-effective, medium insulation build of the popular SERIES 350 heavy-duty construction. If application temperatures exceed SERIES 350 construction, specify XACTPAK mineral-insulated, metal-sheathed cable.

FEP Insulated Thermocouple and Extension Wire SERIES 507
The SERIES 507 is the most economical fluoroplastic insulated wire. Individual conductors are coated with a layer of color coded FEP. The insulated conductors are then parallel duplexed with an additional layer of color coded FEP. The finished construction has a continuous temperature rating of 400F (204C). Abrasion, moisture and chemical resistance exceed most other insulations. This construction is widely used when pulling long lengths of wire through conduit. FEPs low friction coefficient and abrasion resistance are suited for these applications. For higher abrasion resistance consider SERIES 514 Tefzel insulated constructions. For higher temperatures specify SERIES 508.

TFE Insulated SERIES 508
The primary and duplex insulation of SERIES 508 is fused TFE tape which is spirally applied to the conductor and heated. This process, called sintering, forms the tape into a homogeneous layer. When sintered, the tape exhibits all of the advantages of extruded TFE insulation, while eliminating the concentricity problems associated with TFE extrusions. The SERIES 508 is fully color coded and capable of continuous operation in excess of 500F (260C). Because the fusing process causes the duplex tape to fuse with the primary insulation, SERIES 508 is not recommended for applications where it is necessary to remove the outer tape while leaving the primary insulation intact.

SERIES 511 is the most economical polyimide taped construction. Polyimide film applied to the conductors is considered to be the ultimate soft insulation. The tape maintains its strength at temperatures up to 600F (315C). The FEP laminate serves as a moisture barrier and allows the tape to fuse with itself. The finished construction will not unravel when cut. SERIES 511 conductors are wrapped with the polyimide tape which is fused to itself. Each conductor is color coded with a colored thread under the tape. The insulated conductors are twisted into a duplex construction to eliminate the overall duplex insulation and minimize cost.

Thermocouple Wire
PFA Insulated Thermocouple and Extension Wire SERIES 516
A relatively new fluoroplastic, perfluoralkoxy (PFA), is the insulation used for SERIES 516. PFAs temperature rating is only slightly less than TFE. However, PFA can be applied using conventional extrusion techniques. This produces a smooth finish, as opposed to the spiral usually associated with TFE tape constructions. This is important in the foodservice industry where taped constructions present cleaning problems. The smooth surface also allows this construction to be pulled through conduits and cut-outs more easily. Once each conductor has been coated with a color coded PFA layer, they are laid parallel and coated again with PFA.

XACTPAK Cable
Technical Data Quality Control and Testing
To maintain quality and consistency, XACTPAK cable is manufactured under carefully controlled procedures and rigid standards of cleanliness. Quality checks are made at critical points throughout the manufacturing process. Every coil of XACTPAK cable is thoroughly tested for continuity, insulation resistance, physical dimensions and physical appearance. Each lot, or batch of XACTPAK, contains raw materials (sheath, insulation, wires) from one production lot which eliminates the need to calibrate every thermocouple cut from a coil because of poor homogeneity. Samples from each lot are calibrated in Watlows modern calibration laboratory by highly skilled technicians. Unlike some manufacturers who calibrate at a few low temperature calibration points, Watlow calibrates throughout the range that matches the cables capabilities. Cutting When pieces are cut from a length of XACTPAK cable, the exposed ends should immediately be squared and sealed. Squaring and sealing guards against possible contamination and removes any loosened insulation or distorted wire caused by cutting. A light pressure sanding with a 180-grit belt is the easiest method for rough squaring of 0.040 in. (1.016 mm) or larger diameter XACTPAK cable. Applying hard pressure against the sanding belt causes excessive heat build-up which may smear the soft metal over the insulation. After sanding, a clean fine toothed file should be used to dress the squared ends. Each exposed end should be sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Inexperienced personnel may find 0.032 in. (0.813 mm) or smaller diameter XACTPAK cable difficult to handle and will probably prefer to have all cutting, stripping and fabricating done at the Watlow factory. Insulation Resistance XACTPAK mineral insulated, metal-sheathed cable should have a minimum room temperature insulation resistance of 100 megohms when tested at 50VDC for both wires to sheath and wire to wire. All ceramics used in XACTPAK cable decrease in resistance as temperature increases. Shipping and Packaging XACTPAK cable is stocked in random lengths from 20 feet (6 m) to the Maximum Stock Lengths listed in the tables on the following pages. We reserve the right to supply random lengths of our choice unless specific cut lengths are specified on the order. Upon request, XACTPAK cable can be furnished in other coil dimensions or shipped in straight form if necessary. Longer lengths are available for special order. Stripping A hand stripping tool will readily remove the sheath from 0.020 through 0.125 in. (3 mm) diameter XACTPAK cable. However, due to difficulty in working with 0.032 in. (0.8 mm) or smaller diameter material, it is recommended that small diameter material be ordered as factory stripped. Material larger than 0.125 in. (3.2 mm) diameter can be stripped on a lathe with a suitable tool bit or lathe-mounted stripping tool. It is also possible to strip larger sizes of XACTPAK cable by using a hacksaw to make a ring cut through the sheath at the desired distance from the end. Hammering the severed portion of sheath at several places will break up the insulation allowing the sheath to be slipped off. WATLOW

Care, Handling and Fabrication of XACTPAK Cable


To maximize performance advantages made possible by XACTPAK cables overall premium quality, the following instructions covering its storage, handling and further fabrication should be followed. Storage To prevent moisture from being absorbed by its hygroscopic mineral insulation, both ends of each length of XACTPAK cable are sealed at the factory. To further guard against moisture penetration, it is advisable to store XACTPAK material in a dry place. Moisture If XACTPAK cable is not adequately sealed, its insulation absorbs moisture. This lowers its electrical resistance and may prove to be troublesome in subsequent welding. Minor moisture penetration can be remedied by using a blow torch to heat the sheath. Apply the flame 6 to 7 inches from the open end and slowly work the flame to and over the end. Reseal the end after it has cooled to about 180F (82C). Deep moisture penetration is unlikely, but if it occurs, the material may be baked at approximately 250F (121C) for 24 hours to increase its insulation resistance. If baking does not return the insulation resistance to acceptable levels, the material should be discarded.

194

Mineral Insulated Cable


XACTPAK Cable
Technical Data (Continued)
After stripping, the exposed conductors should be sandblasted or cleaned with emery cloth. The exposed ends should be resealed immediately after completion of the stripping operation. Forming Because XACTPAK cables sheath is dead soft and bright annealed, it can be formed and shaped to most contours without risk of cracking. As a guideline, the sheath can be formed around a mandrel twice the sheath diameter without damage. Therefore, 0.125 in. (3.2 mm) diameter XACTPAK cable can be wound around a 0.250 in. (6 mm) diameter mandrel. Welding Due to of the delicate nature of the process and to avoid possible contamination, it is recommended that fabrication of hot or measuring junctions be done at the factory. If attempted in the field, a welding rod made from the same material as the sheath should be used with inert gas. Flux should not be used as it will contaminate the insulation. Other weldments, such as to a vessel or pipe, should be made in an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation of the sheath. When working with XACTPAK cable of 0.040 in. (1.0 mm) outside diameter or less, extreme caution should be used not to burn through the sheath.

How to Select XACTPAK Cable to Suit Your Requirements


Watlows mineral insulated metal-sheathed cable section has been designed for ease of use so that the right cable is chosen for each application. The following four items must be considered when selecting XACTPAK mineral insulated metal-sheathed cable: 1. Sheath Material The sheath serves to isolate and protect the wires and insulation from contamination and mechanical damage. There is no single sheath material that is appropriate for all conditions, so Watlow offers a wide variety. Temperature, strength, corrosiveness, service life and cost must be considered when selecting a sheath material. 2. Calibration Watlow stocks most ANSI/ASTM recognized thermocouple types. Watlow also manufactures cable with other wire alloys such as nickel, copper, nickel clad copper, 304 stainless steel, alloy 600 and virtually any malleable metal. 3. Insulation Material Insulation separates conductors from each other and the outer sheath. When selecting an insulation, temperature rating, environment and cost must be considered. 4. Physical Characteristics Diameter of the sheath and the wall thickness will directly affect the following: Time response Service life Flexibility Pressure rating Strength 5. Specify Coil Lengths Randomthe factory selects 20 ft (6 m) minimum. Specialspecify lengths and tolerance. Cut to length charges and minimum order quantities may apply.

ASTM Type J 1Type Js positive leg (JP) is iron. Its negative leg (JN) is approximately 45 percent nickel-55 percent copper. When protected by compacted mineral insulation and outer sheath, Type J is usable from 32 to 1500F (0 to 815C). Type J is not susceptible to short range ordering in the 600 to 1100F (315 to 593C) temperature range, (+2 to +4F drift) which occurs with ASTM Type E and K. This low cost, stable thermocouple calibration is primarily used with 96 percent pure magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation and stainless steel sheath. ASTM Type K 2Type Ks positive leg (KP) is approximately 90 percent nickel-10 percent chromium. Its negative leg (KN) is approximately 95 percent nickel-two percent aluminum-two percent manganese-one percent silicon. When protected by compacted mineral insulation and outer sheath, Type K is usable from 32 to 2300F (0 to 1260C). If the application is 600 to 1100F (315 to 593C), we recommend Type J or N due to short range ordering that can cause drift of +2 to +4F (+1.5 to +2C) in a few hours time. Type K is relatively stable during radiation transmission in nuclear environments. For applications below 32F (0C), special alloy selections are usually required. ASTM Type T 3Type Ts positive leg (TP) is pure copper. Its negative leg (TN) is approximately 45 percent nickel-55 percent copper. When protected by compacted mineral insulation and outer sheath, Type T is usable from 32 to 660F (0 to 350C) and very stable in cryogenic and low temperature applications. For applications below 32F (0C) special alloy selections may be required.

ASTM Type E 4Type Es positive leg (EP) is approximately 90 percent nickel-10 percent chromium. Its negative leg (EN) is approximately 45 percent nickel-55 percent copper. When protected by compacted mineral insulation and outer sheath, Type E is usable from 32 to 1650F (0 to 900C) and has the highest electromotive force (EMF) output per degree of all ASTM types. If the application temperature is 600 to 1100F (315 to 593C) Type J or N is recommended due to short range ordering which can cause drift of +1 to +3F in a few hours time. For applications below 32F (0C), special alloy selections may be required. ASTM Type N 8Type Ns positive leg (nicrosil) is approximately 14 percent chromium-1.4 percent silicon-84.6 nickel. Its negative leg (nisil) is approximately 4.4 percent silicon-95.6 percent nickel. When protected by compacted mineral insulation and outer sheath, its usable from 32 to 2300F (0 to 1260C). Type N overcomes several problems inherent in Type K. Short range ordering, +2 to +4F drift (+1.5 to +2C), in the 600 to 1100F (315 to 593C) range is greatly reduced, and drift rate at high temperatures is considerably less. Type N is also more stable than Type K in nuclear environments. Miscellaneous 9Contact the factory.

High Purity Magnesium Oxide (MgO) 99.4 Percent Minimum Purity 1Low impurity levels make this insulation very useful for all thermocouple calibrations up to 2500F (1370C). Above 2500F (1371C), Watlow recommends using hafnia oxide insulation because of MgOs low resistivity. This material meets the requirements established in ASTM E-235. Magnesium Oxide (MgO) 96% Minimum Purity 5This low cost insulation is similar to high purity MgO (1) except it should be used in applications below 2000F (1095C) due to impurity levels. This insulation should not be used with platinum or in nuclear applications.

Insulation
Alumina Oxide (Al2O3) 99.6% Minimum Purity Although this material is comparable to MgO in its electrical properties and cost, it does not compact well and tends to powder out. This undesirable characteristic has made this insulation unpopular, therefore, cable with this type of insulation is available only as a special order. Hafnia Oxide (HfO2) Hafnia is used as a substitute for beryllia oxidez (BeO) because of beryllias toxicity problem. The temperature limit of hafnia is 4530F (2500C), which is higher than BeO.

EZ-ZONE RM
The EZ-ZONE RM controller simplifies thermal system management. The EZ-ZONE RM controller family is comprised of six module types: an integrated on-off or PID control, monitoring and over/under temperature limit module, a high-density on-off or PID control module, a high-density limit only module, an input/output (I/O) expansion module, a high-density monitor/scanner module and a data logging and field communications access module. A system is configured by connecting any combination of module types to address specific application needs. The EZ-ZONE RM is extremely flexible and scalable allowing mixing and matching of I/O to configure 1 to 152 control loops and up to 256 monitor points. Optional integrated controller functions can be combined or ordered in different quantities: PID control loops Over/under temperature limit control loops 10 and 15 ampere power output/heater driver options On-board data logging Current measurement input Sequencer start up and control function Programmable timer and counter functions Programmable math and logic options Multiple communication protocol options Mobile configuration with removable secure digital (SD) flash card Benefits of using an integrated controller solution: Reduces wiring time and termination complexity compared with connecting multiple discrete products Improves system reliability Reduces termination and installation cost Eliminates compatibility issues often encountered with using various discrete components and brands Reduces troubleshooting time and downtime costs because the system can specifically identify any problems with a sensor, controller, solid state relay (SSR) power output or heater load Complete thermal solution saves engineering time and labor costs while shortening project schedules

Features and Benefits

SERIES EHG
Many applications requiring a fixed temperature set point rely on a mechanical thermostat for thermal control. Thermostats have proven, however, to be inadequate for many applications due to long-term reliability issues, such as 100,000 cycle rating and poor temperature control. The SERIES EHG thermal solution includes a compact temperature control, thermocouple sensor and power switching device integrated into the heaters power cord. The SERIES EHG reduces system costs and lasts substantially longer than a conventional thermostat solution. The evolution of miniature microprocessor technology and Watlow switching technology fostered development of a small, versatile temperature control and thermocouple sensor that is integrated with Watlow silicone rubber heater products. This device senses the temperature via input from a thermocouple strategically placed on the heater mat. The microprocessor is programmed prior to shipment with an application specific set point. This results in quick delivery of a custom, integrated system. The small thermocouple mass provides superior response to changes in process temperature enabling higher watt density silicone rubber heater designs. These features offer an integrated custom set point temperature controller with superior life span, faster heat-up rates and improved accuracy. The SERIES EHG System has been tested to over four million cycles at rated amperage. Depending on the application, Watlows power switching design can last up to 40 times longer than a conventional thermostat.

Features and Benefits


Long operational life Improves system reliability Tight temperature control Ensures process accuracy Small sensor footprint Fits with almost any heater Responds quickly to temperature changes Controls high watt densities in low mass applications Reduced system cost A single EHG control can be configured with multiple heaters Pre-wired, in line control Simplifies installation Two wire power connection Durable housing with built-in strain relief Protects electronics Low risk of mechanical damage Manufactured with proven Watlow components Assures reliable system performance

Temperature and Process


SERIES F4 Process
General Purpose Control Operation
The SERIES F4 temperature process controller with a single channel PID controller supports either closed or open loop operation. The design utilizes the latest technology to meet complex processing needs while maintaining an easily understood operator interface. Full, non-abbreviated parameter choices are displayed using a four line, high-definition LCD interface display that is back lit for wide angle viewing. Firmware guides the operator through parameter choices for feature configuration. An information key (I) provides the operator with detailed help information regarding the parameter or feature being configured. The main page menu can be programmed to display output power through 16 control variables including: bar graphs, set points and operating ranges. Up to four programmable messages can be activated remotely to inform the operator that the process requires attention. Five sets of PID values can be auto-tuned to support varying system reactions over the complete operating range. Up to 10 offset points can programmed to compensate for differences between the actual process value and sensor readings caused by sensor placement.

Control Outputs
Heat/cool or reverse/direct action is supported. Time based outputs can be configured for variable burst fire or a cycle time can be selected. On-off boost heat or boost cool operation is also supported. Boost operation is enabled based on load power requirements

Alarms
Two alarms are included in the base unit and can be programmed as process, deviation or rate.

Serial Communications
Both EIA 232 and EIA 485 communications are included in the base unit. The SERIES F4 operates via the Modbus RTU protocol and responds to requests for information only when queried. Baud rate selections are 9600 or 19200.

Retransmit
Up to two optional programmable voltage or current signal retransmit outputs are supported. Retransmit sources include up to three process variables; set point and output percent power.

Control Inputs
Up to three universal analog inputs are configured through software to support thermocouples, RTDs and process (voltage/current) sensors. Auxiliary inputs 2 and 3 can function as a remote set point input, sources for retransmission or as the outer loop for cascade operation.

Digital Inputs
Four inputs are programmable and can remotely modify controller operation and display pre-programmed messages on the operations display.

SERIES F4 Process
Enhanced Control Operation
An enhanced operation option for the SERIES F4 process controller includes additional universal analog inputs (inputs 2 and 3) and enhanced firmware to support several features that utilize the two additional inputs. The enhanced control option can be configured to support cascade control, (see the application diagram below), differential control, ratio control and slide wire valve control. The enhanced control option can also alternate between control inputs, display up to three process variables and support remote set point operation. In this sample application, the SERIES F4 process controller uses the enhanced cascade control feature to heat lube oil to 51.6C (125F). Cascade control is a control strategy in which one control loop provides the set point for another loop. It allows the process or part temperature to be reached quickly while minimizing overshoot. Cascade is used to optimize thermal system performance with long lag times. Input 3 measures the lube oil temperature before it leaves the tank. Input 1 measures the heater temperature. The input 3 process value is compared to the set point which generates an internal set point used to control the heater.

Temperature and Process


SERIES EHG
Many applications requiring a fixed temperature set point rely on a mechanical thermostat for thermal control. Thermostats have proven, however, to be inadequate for many applications due to long-term reliability issues, such as 100,000 cycle rating and poor temperature control. The SERIES EHG thermal solution includes a compact temperature control, thermocouple sensor and power switching device integrated into the heaters power cord. The SERIES EHG reduces system costs and lasts substantially longer than a conventional thermostat solution. The evolution of miniature microprocessor technology and Watlow switching technology fostered development of a small, versatile temperature control and thermocouple sensor that is integrated with Watlow silicone rubber heater products. This device senses the temperature via input from a thermocouple strategically placed on the heater mat. The microprocessor is programmed prior to shipment with an application specific set point. This results in quick delivery of a custom, integrated system. The small thermocouple mass provides superior response to changes in process temperature enabling higher watt density silicone rubber heater designs. These features offer an integrated custom set point temperature controller with superior life span, faster heat-up rates and improved accuracy. The SERIES EHG System has been tested to over four million cycles at rated amperage. Depending on the application, Watlows power switching design can last up to 40 times longer than a conventional thermostat.

Features and Benefits


Long operational life Improves system reliability Tight temperature control Ensures process accuracy Small sensor footprint Fits with almost any heater Responds quickly to temperature changes Controls high watt densities in low mass applications Reduced system cost A single EHG control can be configured with multiple heaters Pre-wired, in line control Simplifies installation Two wire power connection Durable housing with built-in strain relief Protects electronics Low risk of mechanical damage Manufactured with proven Watlow components Assures reliable system performance

DIN-A-MITE C
Extended Heater and Power Controller Life with Variable Time Base
With variable time base control, the power controller automatically adjusts the time base and output power with respect to command signal. Accelerated life testing shows that variable time base control significantly reduces expansion and contraction of the heater element. This extends heater and power controller life while improving process temperature control. This saves money on heaters, downtime and maintenance.

Models: DC1_ -_ _ [L, P] 0 - 0_ _ _

Loop Powered or Transformer Powered


Loop Powered By using a temperature controller 4-20mA process output signal as the power supply for the DIN-A-MITE input the cost of the power controller can be reduced. With zero cross (burst fired) the 4-20mA input signal simultaneously performs the tasks of providing a power supply and an input command signal. The DIN-A-MITE F0 input control signal is a loop powered option and will work as single- or three-phase. It works only with a 4-20mA input. Transformer Powered Some DIN-A-MITE models require an on-board power supply to power the internal electronics. Phase-angle options require the detection of zero cross of the ac sine wave and thus a transformer is also required. DIN-A-MITE input control signal types L, P and S are transformer powered and can be controlled manually (open loop) with a potentiometer input or in the auto mode (close loop) with a temperature controller using any of the 4-20mA, linear voltage (0-5,1-5 and 0-10VDC) input types.

Phase angle control (input control signal options L and P) is infinitely variable over the period of the ac sine wave. It provides a variable voltage and/or current output. These options include soft start and current limiting. The phase angle circuitry is transformer powered and accepts a linear voltage, current or potentionmeter input. This option is available only for single-phase switching.

With single-cycle variable time base control, at 50 percent power, power is on one cycle and off one cycle. At 25 percent, it is on for one cycle and off for three. Under 50 percent, the unit is not on for more than one consecutive cycle. Over 50 percent, the unit is not off for more than one consecutive cycle. This model will work with a linear voltage input, a 4 to 20mA input or a potentiometer input.

POWER SERIES Features
Removable Mounting Plate POWER SERIES snaps on a pre-mounted, removable subplate. Terminal Cover electrically touch-safe package. Fuse Cover slides up and down for fuse maintenance and covers the high voltage components. Digital Programmer/Display for controller conguration, setup and monitoring features. Ground Lug built in, designed for easy ground connections.

I/O Port input, retransmit output, communications and alarms.

On-Board Fan is integrated into the package on forced air cooled models to eliminate separate power connection for fan. Allen Wrench used to torque terminals one to six and ground lug.

Single-Phase Configuration This configuration can be purchased with any or all the features available on the POWER SERIES, based on customer preference. It is intended for resistive heaters, but can also be used on transformer connected loads in the phase-angle firing mode. Three-Phase, Two-Leg Configuration This configuration is intended for zero-cross firing only into a stable resistive heater. Typically, a three-phase delta or ungrounded wye connected heater is used and only two of the three VAC line phases are switched. The third phase is a direct connection through a bussbar on board the POWER SERIES. Heater current monitoring and kVA options are available via the heater diagnostics option. Three-Phase, Three-Leg Configuration All POWER SERIES options are available with this configuration. It works well with phase angle firing into a three-phase, three-wire wye or delta connected heater. In this configuration, the more common applications are transformer connected loads with heaters requiring a soft start and/or current limiting. The three-phase, four-wire configuration is intended for zero cross firing into a three-phase grounded wye/star heater (This is a separate hardware option, model number dependent.)

Single-Phase, Multizone Configuration This configuration is available in two and three single-phase zones and all the features of a single-phase unit are available. (Note that there is only one alarm relay and all zones in the controller must use the same control method.) Heater Diagnostics Heater diagnostics may include some or all of the features that require heater current monitoring, depending on the model selected. Heater current monitoring is only available with heater diagnostics installed on the controller. The features dependent on heater current monitoring are heater bakeout, current limiting, heater kVA monitoring, retransmit and heater monitoring alarms such as open heater, heater out of tolerance, load balance and shorted SCR detection/error. Heater diagnostics must also be installed if you need phase angle control with current limit.

In heat treating applications, the QPAC offers modular flexibility. Different heater elements require different control firing modes: i.e., tungsten elements need phase-angle firing, while Nichrome elements use burst (zero cross) firing. Shipping the furnace to different countries could require different voltage sources (and thus transformers): i.e., United States 240 or 480 volt, Australia 415 volt; Europe 380 or 400 volt. By simply changing plug-in transformers, the OEM can ship anywhere in the world.

Solid State Relays
Watlow solid state relays (SSR) offer many of the advantages of solid state power controllers, but at a lower cost. Watlows extensive knowledge in power controller design led to the development of a special fast cycle input card that enables a SSR to operate from a standard 4-20mA instrumentation command signal. Test results show that a zero-cross SSR in combination with the fast cycle card promotes better temperature control and longer heater life than slow cycle relays. Through a time proportional cycle rate of 110 of a second, heater life will be extended. Both low and high voltage models are available from 24 to 660VAC. All ac output models include back-to-back silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) for a more rugged design than the traditional triac-based SSR. The internal design allows it to tolerate high currents and harsh electrical environments of heavy industry. Watlow also offers a switched VDC model for dc heating applications. Watlow provides all of the components necessary for trouble-free operation. This includes two standard convenience items: a thermal foil to ensure proper thermal transfer from the relay to the heat sink and belleville washers to ensure that the relay is mounted with sufficient pressure to enable good heat transfer. Matched semiconductor fuses and heat sinks are available to complete the power switching package.

Features and Benefits


Fast cycle card Increases heater life Optimizes temperature control Allows for higher watt density heaters Zero cross firing Results in minimal electrical noise Back-to-back SCR design Withstands harsh or hostile industrial environments UL recognized File #E151484 and #E73741 CSA certified up to 600VAC, File #LR700195 VDE 60950 License #40021401, File #1995500 up to 480VAC, CE Meets applications requiring agency approval

Solid State Relays
Heater Life
Watlow has extensively tested electric heating elements with a variety of power switching devices. Results prove that the life of an electric element dramatically increases when the on-off cycle time that is used to time-proportion the heater is kept at less than one second. This reduces the thermal expansion and contraction of the element and improves heater life as much as 20 times. This very fast cycle time controls temperature much more accurately and allows the use of higher watt density heating elements. cases where uncontrolled full power can cause damage, it is recommended that a high limit temperature controller and contactor be used for protection.

Fast Cycle Card


In order to obtain the very rapid cycling time required for longer heater life, accurate temperature control and higher watt densities, Watlow has developed a loop-powered firing card for SSRs. This card operates from a standard instrumentation signal of 4 to 20mA and controls solid state relays with a time proportional cycle rate of less than one second (4VAC cycles on and 4VAC cycles off at 50 percent power).

Heater

Shorted SSR Alarm The most prevalent concern when using solid state relays is the possibility of a relay failing in a shorted condition. With this in mind, Watlow has designed a cost effective shorted SSR alarm. The device monitors the output (current through the heater) and activates a triac (alarm) if there is no command signal from the temperature controller. The triac can be wired to a bell, or to a normally closed latching relay to remove power to the heater.

Thermal Transfer
A thermal foil is provided with each solid state relay for mounting on the base of the relay to improve heat transfer. In addition, two belleville washers are supplied to provide the proper pressure for this transfer of heat. Use two #8-32 screws 0.625 in. (16 mm) long to secure the relay to the heat sink.

Replacing Contactors or Mercury Displacement Relays (MDRs)


Improvements in heater life and control accuracy can be achieved with SSRs operated with rapid cycle times as compared to slower operating electromechanical relays or even MDRs. When replacing these types of relays with the SSR, it is important to consider two aspects: 1. Heat Solid state devices require a small voltage to turn on, which is consumed as heat (approx. 1.5 volts x amps = watts). This heat must be removed from the device and is usually accomplished by mounting the relay on heat sinks. 2. Failure Mode Solid state devices should last for many years when properly protected with voltage snubbers, mounted on appropriate heat sinks and when fused with semiconductor fuses against the high currents caused by electrical shorts. Watlows SSRs include an internal voltage snubber. However, if the unit fails, the most probable condition will be a short. Mechanical relays also have a good probability of failing short.

How to Choose the Correct SpecView from Watlow Options


Order this option....
Mini Version

If you want to....


Operate a system with data from one or two simple instruments. This option includes historical replay and allows up to two instruments. Note that in some cases, devices such as proling and multi-loop controllers are represented by more than one instrument and the mini version may not be appropriate. Freedom to expand congurations beyond the two instrument limit of the mini version. Communicate with instruments on only one serial communications port or via Ethernet only. Communicate with instruments on more than one serial communications port and via Ethernet. Replay logged screen data on screens in trends, bar graphs and numeric elds. Without this option, replay is limited to the last four hours of data. Congure SpecView from Watlow to respond automatically to events such as specic parameter values with actions such as print the screen, or start logging or download a recipe. Events can also be time or calendar based. Without the strategy controller option there is a two event limit. Integrate SpecView from Watlow with other Windows programs. Connect SpecView from Watlow to instruments via an OPC server. Integrate third-party or customer-written ActiveX controls into SpecView from Watlow. Monitor instruments from multiple computers simultaneously. Order the number of remote users corresponding to the maximum number of additional computers needed to connect simultaneously. Use the computer to manage proles: program proles in the computer, save proles on the computer, or download proles that are saved on the computer to the SERIES F4. Connect to Allen-Bradley PLCs (process logic controllers) that support the DF1 protocol.

Current Transformers
A current transformer (CT) provides a signal that is proportional to and isolated from the load that passes through it. The signal from the CT can be measured by a temperature or power controller. The value from that measurement may be used to trigger an alarm, detect an open heater or a shorted SSR, or to indicate the current. Choose the model that provides a measureable output for the planned load current. To order, simply identify the desired part number. Contact your Watlow representative for availability.

Terms and Conditions of Sale


Excuse of Performance: (A) Deliveries may be suspended by either party in the event of: Act of God, war, riot, fire, explosion, accident, flood, sabotage; lack of adequate fuel, power, raw materials, labor, containers or transportation facilities; compliance with Governmental Requirements (as hereinafter defined); breakage or failure of machinery or apparatus; national defense requirements or any other event, whether or not of the class or kind enumerated herein, beyond the reasonable control of such party; or in the event of labor trouble, strike, lockout or injunction (provided that neither party shall be required to settle a labor dispute against its own best judgment); which event makes impracticable the manufacture, transportation, sale, purchase, acceptance, use or resale of Products or a material upon which the manufacture of Products is dependent. (B) If Watlow determines that its ability to supply the total demand for Products, or obtain any or a sufficient quantity of any material used directly or indirectly in the manufacture of Products, is hindered, limited or made impracticable, Watlow may allocate its available supply of Products or such material (without obligation to acquire other supplies of any such Products or material) among itself and its purchasers on such basis as Watlow determines to be equitable without liability for any failure of performance which may result therefrom. (C) Deliveries suspended or not made by reason of this Section shall be canceled without liability, but this agreement and/or Order shall otherwise remain unaffected. Prototypes: If Buyer orders and/or Watlow delivers a Product designated as a Prototype, no guarantees, warranties or representations as to fitness for a particular purpose or merchantability are made with respect to such Prototype. Buyer shall have the duty and sole responsibility to test a Prototype prior to acceptance and/or incorporation into end-use applications. Further, a production Product based on a Prototype design may differ in assembly methods and materials from the Prototype.

Watlow does not warrant any Product against damage from corrosion, contamination, misapplication, improper specification or wear and tear and operational conditions beyond Watlows control.

No person has authority to bind Watlow to a representation or warranty other than this express Warranty. Watlow shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use of Products whether a claim for such damages is based upon warranty, contract, negligence or other cause of action. Should any Product fail while subject to this Warranty, such Product shall be repaired or a substitute Product shall be provided, at Watlows option, at no charge to Buyer or to any other person or entity to whom Product is transferred during the period of this Warranty. Watlow must be notified of the alleged failure of Product within thirty (30) days of such event and advanced authorization for repair or replacement must be obtained in writing from Watlow. THIS WARRANTY IS MADE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, AND ALL OTHER SUCH WARRANTIES ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED. THE CORRECTION OF ANY DEFECT IN OR FAILURE OF PRODUCTS BY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT TO THE EXTENT SET FORTH ABOVE, SHALL BE WATLOWS LIMIT OF LIABILITY AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DELAYS OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE PURCHASE OR USE OF THE PRODUCTS. IN NO EVENT SHALL WATLOW BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. WATLOW SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR, AND BUYER AND ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY TO WHOM PRODUCTS ARE TRANSFERRED DURING THE PERIOD OF THIS WARRANTY ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR, ALL PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO THE HANDLING, POSSESSION OR USE OF PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED AND SOLD BY WATLOW HEREUNDER.

These Terms and Conditions constitute the full understanding of the parties, a complete allocation of risks between them and a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of their agreement and/or Order relating to the subject matter herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no conditions, usage of trade, course of dealing or performance, understanding or agreement and/or Order purporting to modify, vary, explain or supplement the terms or conditions of this agreement and/or Order shall be binding unless hereafter made in writing and signed by the party to be bound, and no modification shall be effected by the acknowledgment or acceptance of any purchase order or shipping instruction forms containing terms or conditions at variance with or in addition to those set forth herein. No waiver by either party with respect to any breach or default or of any right or remedy and no course of dealing or performance shall be deemed to constitute a continuing waiver of any other breach or default or of any other right or remedy, unless such waiver be expressed in writing signed by the party to be bound. If any term, condition or provision of this agreement and/or Order or the application thereof is judicially or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable, or if the parties mutually agree in writing to any revision of this agreement and/or Order, the remainder of this agreement and/or Order and the application thereof shall not be affected, and this agreement and/or Order shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
